​27 Times When American Breakfast Cereals Just Took The Absolute Piss

And when it comes to the most important meal of the day, never mind bacon, pancakes and steak – instead it's all about this staggering array of cereals
that generally contain about 8,000% of you daily recommended sugar intake.

Here are 27 examples where cereals in the land of the free really took the piss.

1. OJs

If you like having a glass of orange juice with your cereal in
the morning, why not cut out the middle man and just pour the glass directly into
your cereal?

How could that be anything other than delicious?

2. French Toast Crunch

A product that was discontinued until recently, when it enjoyed a most-unexpected revival; the Fianna Fáil of cereals.

Probably the worst offender on the list as they clearly realised they'd created a monster, only to bring it back from the dead to terrorise tastebuds and teeth again.

3. Dunkin Donuts cereal

Do you feel bad when you have a donut for breakfast? Worry no more. You can now have a bowl of donuts guilt-free as it says ‘cereal’ right there on the box.

4. Batman Returns Cereal

Up until this point I bet you didn’t realise that cereals could have sequels.

5. King Vitaman

“Should we put a cute cartoon mascot on the box?”

“Don’t be silly, we’ll put an OAP in a cheap outfit and to top it off we’ll give a free royal racing coach in every box.”

6. Liquid Cereal

Too busy for cereal in the morning? Are you blessed with the absence of a gag reflex? Then I have just the cereal for you.

8. New Kids on the Block Cereal

It never made it to shelves. Possibly because it wasn’t made of The Right Stuff. Even though we all said “Baby I Believe in You,” and “Please Don’t Go Girl,” it failed to materialise and faded into memory.

And as of yet no one has said “Let’s Try it Again” – something that sadly can't be said for the band itself.

9. Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs

“Hey could I get a box of Grins & Giggles & Lols & um… you know what, forget it. I'll just have Corn Flakes.”

10. Nerds

You may be familiar with the sickening Nerds candy that made you wince from the sheer sugar overload if you ate too many at once (ie, if you ate one).

Now imagine you could have a whole bowl of them with milk? Damn, we missed out on this side of the Atlantic.

11. Dinersaurs

The spelling is egregious enough. Never mind the fact that the box makes it seem like carnivorous and herbivore dinosaurs would be able to live amicably side by side – but it also takes things a step further, and insinuates that they'd also be able to successfully run a diner. A diner that exclusively served cereal.
